Claim
its agreements with Microsoft contingent on not reaching AGI remain standing
Correction

By April 2026, OpenAI and Microsoft had already amended their partnership so Microsoft's license runs through 2032, and multiple reports said the old AGI-triggered contractual clause was removed. So the agreement was no longer contingent on OpenAI not 'reaching AGI.'

Full reasoning

This sentence is outdated and misstates the current OpenAI–Microsoft deal.

In April 2026, OpenAI announced an amended agreement under which "Microsoft will continue to have a license to OpenAI IP for models and products through 2032." That directly indicates Microsoft's rights are now tied to a fixed term, not to whether OpenAI has or has not reached AGI.

Contemporaneous reporting on the amended deal was explicit that the older AGI clause was scrapped. Reuters Breakingviews wrote that "The AGI clause is scrapped", and Axios likewise reported that the rewritten deal "scraps a controversial provision" that would have changed the companies' relationship once AGI was achieved.

So by the time this article was published, it was no longer accurate to say OpenAI's agreements with Microsoft were still "contingent on not reaching AGI."
